JAKARTA The elite Italian club AC Milan officially ended cooperation with Portuguese coach Sergio Conceicao, just six months after he took over the coaching chair from Paulo Fonseca.
"AC Milan and Sergio Conceicao will not continue the journey together next season," the club said in a brief statement, quoted by Antara from AC Milan's official website, Friday.
"We thank you for the commitment, professionalism, and dedication given by Sergio and his staff over the past few months."
Conceicao signed a contract until the end of the 2025/2026 season, but speculation about his departure has surfaced since Milan was only able to finish eighth in the Italian League this season.
The coach, who played for Inter Milan and Lazio, recorded 16 wins in 31 matches, including 11 wins, 7 defeats, and 3 draws in the Italian League. He started his tenure by winning the Italian Super Cup title, but failed to consistently lift the club's performance.

The peak of disappointment came after Milan lost 0-1 to Bologna in the Italian Cup final on May 14. At that time defender Matteo Gabbia bluntly called this season a failure.
"It's quite simple, it's a bad season. We weren't able to show our best. In fact, this team had a lot of talent," Gabbia said at the time.
Italian media now attributes the name Massimiliano Allegri as a strong candidate to replace Conceicao. Allegri once led Milan to win the Italian League season 2010/2011 and won five other league titles with Milan rivals Juventus.
